Every now and then I get an email, or an online comment saying my blog does not validate, and more often than not, it is a wayward comment, or an img tag that’s not closed. The only solution to avoid the embarassment was to occasionally check the validator to see if everything’s rosy and valid.

Not any more, first off we have LaughingLizard’s spankin’ new hack tovalidate your posts before publishing. Alright, so that is a hack, and not a plugin, so if you, like me are too lazy, then get Ben Hammersley’s XHTML Validator to RSS. It is as easy as adding a new feed URI to your favourite feed reader, and what’s better, it says nothing as long as your blog or webpage validates – a little less to read, a little less work.
